“Occasion” is a particular time, especially when something happens that
involves thinking about how to dress — such as seasonal changes and
special events. Come to the CSA Regional meeting, September 26 and
27, 2014, in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis- Saint Paul, Minnesota to
learn about “Dressing for the Occasion.”

Autumn is a spectacular season in Minnesota — along the majestic
Mississippi River leaves begin turning vibrant color, squirrels make
ready for the coming winter, and CSA members will enjoy the opportunity
to tour costume collections, the many theaters and the enticing extras
that make Minneapolis-Saint Paul such a vibrant community. Did you know
that Minneapolis is home to the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry
sculpture, the Mall of America, Target Headquarters, the American Craft
Council — and that many artists actively design and live in warehouse
lofts in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul?

Special conference tours will include the Goldstein Museum of Design’s
Historic Costume Collection, the Guthrie Costume Shop, the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts, Textile Center, and the Minnesota History
Center. During your visit, attend one of the many repertoire
theaters, including the famous Guthrie Theater or MN History Theater.
